Discussion - Why do I feel this way?

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

-Proverbs 18:21

I don't know about you all, but I'm excited about the year of 2015. I'm excited about all of the great things that God has planned for all of us. How do I know that God has great things planned for us? Because He told me so! This is a great time to be a Christian. When I say Christian, I'm not talking about someone that just "claims" to be a Christian to look good, but an actual God fearing unashamed CHRISTIAN. Regardless of who you are though, this is definitely not a time to be afraid or run away from our problems...this is a time to tell our problems goodbye.

Have you ever just felt sad for no apparent reason at all? Have you ever had a great idea but didn't want to do it because you were afraid? Have you ever been afraid of a certain person, thing, or place and didn't know why? Have you ever felt unconfident? Have you ever felt mediocre?

Who do you think is telling you these things? Where do you think these thoughts come from? Yep, you guessed it - the enemy. The bible says in 1 Peter 5:8-10 "Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same affections are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you." 

You have to be careful in this life and in your alone time, because the enemy is always looking for an opportunity to take you out. Ephesians 4:27 says "Neither give place to the devil." or in other words, do not give the devil an opportunity. One way we give in to the attacks of the enemy is through our mind. If we allow him to get into our mind and we start listening to/believing the things that he is saying to us, 1. We won't be able to hear God 2. We start downing ourselves and 3. We mess up our own future. Gandhi once said, " Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, and your values become your destiny."

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Cindy Trimm speak at a church near where I live, and she was absolutely amazing. The Lord is definitely using her to do some amazing things in the world and for the betterment of His people. I went on YouTube a day or so after, and came across a particular video of hers that really inspired me to be better in life and start moving toward my destiny. She also inspired this post!

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SHARE WITH YOU THE VIDEO OF HERS CALLED "COMMANDING YOUR MORNING" AND YOU CAN VIEW IT BY CLICKING THIS LINK IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT ALREADY.

She really goes into great detail about how to take control of your life, and how to have control of what's going on inside of you. It seems as if it all begins with our thoughts, and then what we say is what starts causing things to happen. Definitely click that link and watch the video and watch how your life changes because of it.

We are all called to be great. The Lord that we serve is great. Please watch the video -- it definitely changed my life and I'm sure it can help you as well. God bless.

After you are done watching the video, let's discuss what you got out of it. If you've seen it already, please still share with everyone what you got out of it.

Episode 5 airs THIS SUNDAY.
